On God Is Good Om finally reach a more nuanced delivery of the spiritual music the project is inspired by - finally, the band's meditation music side has caught up to its doom metal chops. At points on here their compositions remind me of the music of Popol Vuh, who also made a point of combining spiritual music from varied cultures with a more modern musical style (Krautrock in Popol Vuh's case, doom metal in Om's case). I find Om's albums to be rather variable, but the accomplishment shown on God is Good makes me expect even greater things from the band in the future - assuming the reformation of Sleep doesn't put Om on hold for good.
